Q: 5. Will the SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro USB 3.0 Flash Drive work with a Mac OS X ?

A: Yes. The biggest problem I have is in transferring large files (i.e., 4GB) between platforms. That's not the drive's fault, though, that's a problem with different software drive formats. You have to format the drive for the kind of system you want to use it with. If you're exclusively using it on Macs, it's way simpler, but if you want to transfer 4GB files between Mac and PC, then you have to make sure that you format the drive appropriately (and I must admit I don't remember the name of the most appropriate file format for such things, I have to look it up each time I have to do it, which isn't often).

Q: 6. How is the drive formatted?

A: HTFS + (Mac journalled)

A: When the thumb drive is plugged in, you have to look directly on the top of the thumb drive to see the blue activity LED. Most thumb drives have the activity LED on the end of the drive to make it easier to see when files are being read or written to the drive. But is is a great product overall.
